Gold Surpasses $2400 Following softer US CPI data

Gold has surged to within 2% of its all-time high, driven by an unexpected decline in US inflation figures.
 

With markets now fully anticipating two rate cuts from the Federal Reserve this year, starting as early as September, these expectations foster a favorable environment for the precious metal.

Should the Fed intensify its policy easing efforts and retail investors, along with major central banks, continue their buying spree, bullion may very well reach new record highs by the end of the year.

Brent receives support from a weaker US dollar

Brent crude has once again found solid support at its 50-day moving average, maintaining levels not seen since early May.
 

The recent drop in the US dollar, following the cooler-than-expected inflation data, has provided an additional boost to Brent prices.

Furthermore, the recent decline in US crude stockpiles indicates that seasonal summertime demand remains robust.
 

Oil bulls are optimistic about potential positive momentum as major central banks move forward with interest rate cuts to bolster global demand.
